Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Calpurnia has interpreted dreams to mean something bad will happen to her husband Caesar. Portia is Brutus's wife and there is no indication she has suspicions about her husband doing evil as described. Brutus ultimately decides that killing Caesar will protect Rome. Decius uses persuasion to convince Caesar to go to the Senate. Artemidorus tries to warn Caesar that danger is imminent. Cassius worries that Mark Antony will be problematic and recommends killing him along with Caesar.

Answer:

Calpurnia - C
Portia - None of the above (as the given description for her is incorrect in context)
Brutus - F
Decius - B
Artemidorus - A
Cassius - E
